A black hole solution to the cosmological monopole problem
read the original abstract
We propose a solution to the cosmological monopole problem: Primordial black holes, produced in the early universe, can accrete magnetic monopoles before the relics dominate the energy density of the universe. These small black holes quickly evaporate and thereby convert most of the monopole energy density into radiation. We estimate the range of parameters for which this solution is possible: under very conservative assumptions we find that the black hole mass must be less than 10^9 gm.

PBHs and GWs from Scaling Monopoles
Scaling monopoles generate PBHs via stochastic overdensities and GWs with correlated spectra, potentially with magnetically charged PBHs as a signature if the scaling ends via gauge boson mass.

Self-Consistent Parker Bound on Magnetic Monopoles
A self-consistent Parker bound on magnetic monopoles is derived using the galactic mean-field dynamo eigenmode and turbulent field seeding and acceleration, producing modified flux limits at low and intermediate masse...

Self-Consistent Parker Bound on Magnetic Monopoles
A self-consistent Parker bound, anchored in the dynamo seed eigenmode and including turbulent pre-acceleration of monopoles, relaxes the standard extended Parker bound by roughly two orders of magnitude at low and int...

Cosmological History of Flavour Deconstruction Models: Constraints from Monopole Production
Flavour deconstruction models with semi-simple gauge groups generically produce light monopoles that require low-scale reheating after inflation to satisfy cosmological and astrophysical bounds.
